I'm not answering what you asked, but for a new 2nd story install I will suggest you put a good deep copper ground rod in the ground directly below the shack window and run a good copper conductor, I think wide flat copper braided is best (? is that still the consensus?), and ground all chassis to that ground. Being up on the second story can present RF-in-the-shack problems if you don't have a very good low inductance path to ground. ROD / W5IE
